Surely the BBC's plan for his coverage would have kicked in by now. Nothing on BBC News here in the US, and nothing I can find on any of the other major outlets, or from reliable sources on social media. Baseless rumour. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other day I was reminded of Wavis O'Shave and his 1979 album Anna Ford's Bum and reflected that it wasn't till many years later that a BBC newsreader's bum was displayed to the public.

Why would that info go to Russia before the BBC, much less the internet? Makes no sense. This royal announcement that Twitter is all up about could be on literally anything.
